Let me be the first to welcome, hahaha!

I am glad to see this finally out, and with Fusion support and formal support for 4890s ('cause I own two of them). Support for Bobcat is cool: being able to leverage the GPU part of a Bobcat should make possible a quite high ratio of computational power to electrical power consumption, and that in a small box.

However I was really hoping to see the new AMD 'Stream' SDK include a low level C-like binding in the style of CUDA C. Nothing wrong with OpenCL, I just like the nitty gritty of CUDA.

Hmmmm.

The article gives this link http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/Pages/default.aspx for the new SDK. That page has this link for download http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx.

So I downloaded it, and noticed it has the exact same file name as AMD Stream 2.3 SDK I grabbed months ago.

And the output of "diff -q ati-stream-sdk-v2.3-lnx64.tgz ../dnld/AMD-Stream-2.3/ati-stream-sdk-v2.3-lnx64.tgz" (the first file being the new SDK, the second file the one I downloaded months ago?
